Grinnell, Iowa,
May 7, 1892
Kind Sir,-
We are the Iowa fellows who asked you for "briefs" of argument for "Federal Interference in the Nego Problem," - the fellows you treated so magnificently.
Well: we, last eve, won the debate on our opponents' terms - judges and statement of question and on the side they wanted us to take.
President Gates of the college says that we got an overwhelming victory. We had read some on each side
[Written along the left margin of page 1 of the letter:] Specially, we desire to thank you most for sitting down on us. It did us more good than anything else, personally.
